    Great Article on the Sugar Bowl and the National Championship........................

    Here is how you play the game, any game.

    You get the participants together, come up with the rules and figure out a way to determine a winner. When everyone agrees, you play. At the end there is a champion.

    There can be mistakes and misgivings. There can be second-guesses and complaints. But the bylaws can't be changed in the middle. The system can't be altered. The rules are the rules are the rules.

    Which is why the national champion in college football this season will be either Oklahoma or LSU. That's it; that's all.

    For another team to claim a share of the title – no matter what the nation's sportswriters, pollsters or, say, a construction crew in La Crosse, Wis., have to say – is to rewrite the rules on the fly.

    So forget all the talk about the Rose Bowl being a national championship game. You can ignore Southern California coach Pete Carroll's assertion that if his Trojans knock off Michigan, then they are national champs.

    Here's a link to read the rest of the article.

    Mr. Peabody - what is with the OK site? Seems very tepid compared to our site here, where the Tiger Den is for smack talk. Is there a smack site on the OU board? It is fun to read, we all have to admit, or we woudn't be here...

    Reading an article like that makes all the other garbage a little more tolerable. Too bad he isn't on ESPN.
